Mambwene, who is pregnant with her second child, attends an antenatal care session at Mbambamu Health Center, DRC where she will be given her first dose of intermittent preventive treatment (IPTp), 3 tablets of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP), to prevent malaria during her pregnancy.
Through community-based distribution of SP, TIPTOP will be working in Kenge to increase IPTp coverage of pregnant women so that women like Mambwene are more likely to receive 3 doses of IPTp during pregnancy. See figure below.
